But absent from the coverage was the profound impact this was having on communities of colour. Where was the outrage about the brown women chased during the far-right march, as one man yells “smack her, smack her”? Not everybody gets involved in the far-right immediately because they hate somebody of a different skin colour or religion. I’m not advocating for an understanding or an excusing of racism – there’s no point pretending that what motivated a lot of people who marched on Saturday isn’t racism. The worst facets of the far-right, like racism, are learnt.
